A bit damp and misty but good to be out, mild for time of year, did need a wash afterwards.

I haven't ridden the Zed for a couple of months,so it was overdue an outing. Put in the morning!

Did you helicopter it into place or clean it in situ?!

That looks amazingly clean for a December pic.

Ha!

The camera flatters,plus shortly after that I rode through a fresh lake of slurry.

Not such a good day today. Lots of foggy mizzle and damp roads in places,but hey it's December and I'm riding,so I'll take it.

The Ballygally polar bear has his Winter scarf on and he's bloody sweatin'.

If Skub starts wearing shell suits and talks with a Scouse accent, he's morphed into Weeksy

I last rode mine to goand see B&HA play Brentford. Dry and home but the a27 foggy and mizzle. As was the Amex.
Ride home was on a very damp bike, with low visability and visor that wouldn't clear the fine rain.
And it was buggery, bollocks cold!

Eh,calm down,calm down.

Tomorrow's forecast is for windy & rain most of the day so I've just took the Street Triple out for my last ride of 2024.I got of to a false start as I wore my summer gloves I realised my mistake before I got of the drive..







The bike's taxed until the end of January so I might get a few more rides on it next month

Is it a darker bit of world up there or is it the camera settings .

Probably a bit of both! Today's as bright as it's been for a week,at least the fog's gone

The band of bright sky in the middle of the pictures has fooled the exposure meter into under-exposing the main part of the images.

Got out before the next storm weather at year end is due! The sun will come out as I go back to work;)

Last day of 24 and although it was just a short test run out to check the clutch work,I'm counting it anyway.

Looks absolutely mint.

That the duck broken on 2025. I got a good dousing with rain and had to wash the poor thing when I returned!

No pics, but took the bike into town today, 12 very cold miles each way, but when you need chain lube, you have to get it!

I came to the conclusion that the reason I hadn’t ridden the bike for a while wasn’t because of the foul weather but because I’d cleaned the bike and was being precious. So it’s manky again. Enjoyed the ride tho.
